What are some management problems in your student teaching. What are some techniques used to offset these behaviors.


1) One problem I have is in my freshman earth science period. There are some students that talk out loud and have outbursts. I respond by asking them if they would like to take a visit to the vice prinicpal's office. They state no and then stop their outbusts. However, this dpes not last for long. Eventually they will start having outbursts again. I have sent one of the students to the vice principal's office. Some days are better than others. I feel the students behave well when I force them to write down notes or engage them with an exicting video clip. They need to be doing something ebery minute. If not, there will be outbursts.

2) There is a student in my biology course that consistently talks to other students. After several warnings, he still talks to other students. One day he came in late and he sat at one of the table by himself. He did not talk to anyone and subsequently there were no disruptions. I told him to stay at the table and take notes from there. He subsequently has not been a distraction to other students, himself, and me.
